OK. here's the story of my life, I'm going to study in monash university in melbourne, Australia. I'll graduate with a double degree, bachelor of law/bachelore of criminology and criminal justice. I'm planning to move to the US to work with the FBI as a special agent in the criminal investigation field. I know that I should have a working experience (three years) in what I studied (law). My questions are....
1)- Do I need to have an experience in criminal investigation?
2)- Can I apply as an intern to gain the experience then move to the real work?
3)- Do I need to join the FBI Academy first then apply for a job or applying then they are going to join me to the academy?
[ If my english is weak, forgive me. I'm not a native speaker :D ]

If you want to be an agent then your experience needs to be in criminal investigation or law enforcement of some type. If you can work as a corrections officer or police officer or us military (4 yr) commitment. You have to apply to be an agent, if you are accepted then they automatically send you to the acadamy. Your english reads fine. It does not really matter what your degree is in but the bachelors of law will help. Most agents they take have a masters degree, and the more languages you speak the better especially if you know a middle eastern dialect.

1. What are the qualifications for the Special Agent position?
To become an FBI Special Agent, you must be a U.S. citizen or a citizen of the Northern Mariana Islands. You must be at least 23 years of age, but younger than 37 upon your appointment as a Special Agent. Applicants must possess a four-year degree from a college or university accredited by one of the regional or national institutional associations recognized by the United States Secretary of Education. All candidates must possess a valid driver’s license and be completely available for assignment anywhere in the FBI’s jurisdiction. In addition, applicants must be able to meet all of the FBI’s Special Agent Qualification Requirements

first you have to be a citizen to join fbi. or the american fbi. there are other international orgs that will allow foreigners.
to apply for the academy you have to be in law enforcement with the education. yes a background in law is very helpful.
the academy is like a specialty training college of its own. not only educational but physical and self defense and weapons trraining. a military police background would give you alotta experience.

ONE OF THE CRITERIA FOR WORK IS THAT YOU BE A REGISTERED US CITIZEN?
UNDER HOMELAND SECURITY(911), THE REQUIREMENTS FOR REGISTRATION ARE MORE CLOSELY SCRUTINIZED NOW THEN EVER BEFORE.
AN OPTION IS TO JOIN YOUR AUSTRALIAN COUNTER PART TO THE FBI AND GET A VISA TO BE ON LOAN FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT TO LEARN MORE ADVANCED AND CURRENT TECHNIQUES OFFERED BY THE FBI AND SOME OF IT'S COURSES. SOME OF THE CL ASSESS DO ACQUIRE FOREIGN STUDENTS TO LIAISON AND BECOME FBI AGENTS. ALSO CIA RECRUITS FOR FOREIGN NATIONALS THIS WAY?

Foreign language will be looked upon as helpful by the FBI. I recommend you contact the FBI with all your questions. They will be more than glad to answer your questions...here's their employment web page: http://www.fbijobs.gov/

you cannot work here in the united states as you are a foreigner. Sorry to burst your bubble but you will never work for the FBI.

"How does this job affect your job?" does not make sense.
